TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a field of washing machines, andparticularly relates to an Internet of Things (Internet of Things)washing machine control method and a washing machine.

BACKGROUND

The Internet of Things is another global informatization trend followingcomputers, Internets and mobile communication networks. Since 1999, theconcept of Internet of Things had gradually known by people. It isregarded as a next trillion-level information technology after theInternet. In recent years, countries in the world are stepping up toresearch the Internet of Things technology.

The development of the Internet of Things is divided into four stages.The first stage is the networking of mainframes and hosts. The secondstage is the connection between desktops as well as laptops and theInternet. The third stage is the interconnection of some mobile devicessuch as mobile phones. The fourth state is the rise of embeddedInternets. More application equipment closely related to the daily livesof people, including washing machines, refrigerators, TVs, microwaveovens, etc., will all join the rank of interconnections to eventuallyform a globally unified “Internet of Things.”

A so-called Internet of Things washing machine is a washing machine thatuses an automatic radio frequency identification technology to realizeidentification between the washing machine and objects. In use, remotecontrol of the Internet of Things washing machine can be realizedthrough a sensing device such as a computer and an intelligent terminal,and a working state of the washing machine can be inquired in real time,and related information of the washing machine is returned through acontrol system. From a technical point of view, it is a new technologythat connects various types of sensors with the existing “Internet”, andis an extension of the “Internet” technology. Now, the Internet ofThings has been constantly changing the lifestyles and consumptionhabits of people.

However, different from other Internet of Things products, the washingmachine in work has certain safety problems to which attentions shall bepaid. When a door cover of the washing machine is not closed, and thewashing machine receives a remote control request at this time, if thewashing machine directly authorizes to confirm the remote controlrequest, a remote user does not know that the door cover is in an openedstate, so that some commands that may be executed only when a door lockis locked may be possibly executed, which causes a potential safetyhazard in the remote control. Therefore, a local control mode and aremote control mode of the washing machine are in different prioritylevels. On another aspect, for different kinds of washing machines atpresent, such as a washing machine having upper and lower washing drums,control methods thereof bring the potential safety hazard in differentways due to different structures, so that the control methods shall becorrespondingly designed. For example, the lower washing drum of thewashing machine is easily collided because of its relatively lowposition where the safety problem shall be considered most, and theupper washing drum of the washing machine has a relatively small safetyproblem thanks to its high position, so that the state of the lowerwashing drum is mainly considered on authorization of remote control.

In view of this, the present disclosure is provided.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides a washing machine control method toovercome the shortcomings of the prior art. A washing machineauthorizes/forbids an intelligent terminal to remotely control thewashing machine according to state information of the washing machineafter receiving a remote control request transmitted by a local machineor the intelligent terminal. When the state information of the washingmachine conforms to a condition for remote control, the washing machineauthorizes the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washingmachine. When the state information of the washing machine does notconform to the condition for remote control, the washing machine forbidsthe intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine.Therefore, the washing machine control method of the present disclosureis applicable to the field of Internet of Things washing machines, andmay effectively guarantee the safety of the Internet of Things washingmachine in the remote control and avoid occurrence of safety accidents.

To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic idea of thetechnical solution of the present disclosure is as follows.

A washing machine control method is provided, which includes a localcontrol mode and a remote control mode implemented through anintelligent terminal. The washing machine authorizes/forbids theintelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine accordingto state information of the washing machine after receiving a remotecontrol request transmitted by a local machine or the intelligentterminal.

In the above solution, the intelligent terminal may transmit the remotecontrol request to the washing machine. The remote control request needsto be authorized on the washing machine side. The local machine is thewashing machine body, which is distinguished from the intelligentterminal.

Or, the washing machine directly inputs the remote control requestthrough the local machine and authorizes or forbids the intelligentterminal to remotely control the washing machine according to its stateinformation.

Preferably, the state information of the washing machine includes a doorcover state of the washing machine. When the door cover state conformsto a safety condition, the washing machine authorizes the intelligentterminal to remotely control the washing machine.

Preferably, the washing machine determines whether a door cover of thewashing machine is in a closed state after receiving the remote controlrequest, and controls a door lock to be locked and authorizes theintelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine if adetermination result is YES, or forbids the intelligent terminal toremotely control the washing machine if the determination result is NO.

Preferably, if the washing machine determines that the door cover of thewashing machine is in an opened state after receiving the remote controlrequest, information that indicates an authorization failure is pushedto the washing machine and/or the intelligent terminal and to prompt auser to close the door cover of the washing machine.

Preferably, after the user closes the door cover, the washing machinecontrols the door lock to be locked, and authorizes the intelligentterminal to remotely control the washing machine.

Preferably, the washing machine includes an upper washing drum and alower washing drum cooperating with each other for washing or implementwashing independently. The washing machine determines whether a doorcover of the lower washing drum of the washing machine is in a closedstate after receiving the remote control request transmitted by thelocal machine or the intelligent terminal, and controls a door lock ofthe lower washing drum to be locked and authorizes the intelligentterminal to remotely control the washing machine if a determinationresult is YES; or forbids the intelligent terminal to remotely controlthe washing machine if the determination result is NO, then pushes theinformation that indicates the authorization failure to the washingmachine and/or the intelligent terminal, and prompts the user to closethe door cover of the lower washing drum.

Preferably, a plurality of intelligent terminals are provided. Thewashing machine may only authorize one intelligent terminal to remotelycontrol the washing machine at one time, and the non-authorizedintelligent terminals transmit remote control requests and then push theremote control requests to the authorized intelligent terminal to askthe authorized intelligent terminal to confirm the authorization.

Preferably, the washing machine transmits the state information of thewashing machine to the intelligent terminal, and the intelligentterminal displays the state information of the washing machine in realtime. The intelligent terminal needs to be authorized by the localmachine, so as to transmit a remote control instruction to control aworking state of the washing machine.

Preferably, a plurality of intelligent terminals are provided, and arein communication connection with the washing machine, respectively, andmay display the state information of the washing machine in real time.The washing machine authorizes any one of the intelligent terminals toremotely control the washing machine, and forbids other intelligentterminals to remotely control the washing machine.

The second channels are connected only when they areauthorized by the washing machine.

Preferably, when the second channel between any one of the intelligentterminals and the washing machine is connected, the second channelsbetween other intelligent terminals and the washing machine are all inthe disconnected states.

In the above solution, the intelligent terminals may also check awashing state of the washing machine in real time even if they are notauthorized by the washing machine side, but may not remotely control thewashing machine.

Preferably, the local control mode is a control mode that a controlinstruction is input through an operation interface of the local machineto control an operation state of the washing machine. The remote controlmode is a control mode that a control instruction is input through theintelligent terminal to wirelessly control an operation state of thewashing machine. The local control mode and the remote control mode havedifferent priority levels.

Preferably, the priority level of the local control mode is higher thanthat of the remote control mode. When the remote control mode is in anenabled state, the control instruction may be directly input through thelocal control mode. The washing machine forbids the intelligent terminalto remotely control the washing machine after receiving the controlinstruction, and executes the control instruction.

Preferably, if the washing machine authorizes a certain intelligentterminal to remotely control the washing machine, and is executing orhas executed the control instruction of the intelligent terminal, thepriority level of the remote control mode of the intelligent terminal ishigher than that of the local control mode. The local machine needs tobe authorized by the intelligent terminal to input the controlinstruction to control the working state of the washing machine.
